Making block face player?

[TLHPoE]

So I've copied the Furnace's and Workbench's code for facing the right way, but in the inventory, it doesn't have the texture on front.

 

It also rarely faces the right way when I place it.

TheGreyGhost helped me with the exact issue for my lanterns mod. You need this to have the block face you:

 

 public void onBlockPlacedBy(World par1World, int x, int y, int z, EntityLivingBase par5EntityLivingBase, ItemStack par6ItemStack)
    {
        int whichDirectionFacing = MathHelper.floor_double((double)(par5EntityLivingBase.rotationYaw * 4.0F / 360.0F) + 2.5D) & 3;
        par1World.setBlockMetadataWithNotify(x, y, z, whichDirectionFacing, 2);
    }

 

but you also need to get icons for the sides

 

	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
    @Override
    public Icon getIcon(int side, int metadata){
	if (side == 1) return this.topIcon;
	else if (side == 0) return this.topIcon;
	else if (metadata == 2 && side == 2) return this.faceIcon;
      else if (metadata == 3 && side == 5) return this.faceIcon;
      else if (metadata == 0 && side == 3) return this.faceIcon;
      else if (metadata == 1 && side == 4) return this.faceIcon;
      else return this.blockIcon;
}

 

and remember before that to call and register them:

	@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
private Icon topIcon;
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
private Icon faceIcon;
@SideOnly(Side.CLIENT)
private Icon blockIcon;

@Override
public void registerIcons(IconRegister register){
	topIcon = register.registerIcon(BlockIds.TEXTURE_LOCATION + ":" + BlockIds.CREEPERTOP);
	faceIcon = register.registerIcon(BlockIds.TEXTURE_LOCATION + ":" + BlockIds.CREEPERFRONT);
	blockIcon = register.registerIcon(BlockIds.TEXTURE_LOCATION + ":" + BlockIds.CREEPERSIDE);
}

 

I use a separate class for my reference stuff like Ids and icons so if that's confusing you I can explain more about my BlockIds class. Good luck.
